United States. Dept. of Labor. President's Mediation Commission.

The President's Mediation Commission represented a partial federal response to two aspects of wartime labor policy: 1) the spreading wave of strikes which interfered with the production of goods deemed vital to the war effort, and 2) the growth of labor radicalism associated with the IWW which precipated widespread state and local repression of labor's rights and vigilantism.
